About
Summary:
Aims: The overall purpose of the project is to gain insight in and knowledge about how GPs understand their role within palliation in primary care, with the national guideline serving as the gold standard for comparison, i.e. map versus terrain.
Background: The number of people in need of palliative treatment increases at the same time as there is a shift from care being given in institutions towards care at home. The collaboration is complex, requiring a high degree of competence for all health workers involved. Patients wants to be cared for, and possibly die in their own home. There is a mismatch between these patient wishes and the actual circumstances. The GP is in the literature regarded as an important worker in the palliative trajectories, as the primary care coordinator, and this key role of the GP is also reflected in the national guideline for palliative care in Norway. In practice, this seems not to be the case, and in a recent evaluation of the health service for seriously ill and dying patients, the GP is called for in the palliative trajectory. Thus, there is a discrepancy between the observed role of the GP and what is desirable in relation to palliative work.
Material and method: The project is a two-part study. The first study is a questionnaire survey to GPs, and aims to provide an overview and achieve knowledge about GPs’ experiences from the field of palliative care, including their experience with home death and the terminal phase, and the collaboration with the specialist health service. The study also targets GPs' knowledge of key concepts in the guideline. The questionnaire was sent to all (N = 246) GPs in the Norwegian county “Møre og Romsdal” in 2014. The respons rate was 57%. The second study is focus groups interviews with GPs. This study will explore, to a greater extent than the questionnaire survey, the experiences the GPs have with palliative care and how they understand their role in working with patients in need of palliative care. The guideline will serve as the gold standard for comparison. The interview guide builds on results from the questionnaire survey.
